got back on the up with the blinkers quickly removed; tracked pace, switched around 2f out, stayed on to lead inside final 1f, driven out; he saw this out strongly, as he'd done when winning his maiden, and is well worth another try at 1¼m, his only go at that trip coming at Royal Ascot.

There will be plenty of deeper 0-105s run at Ascot this season but this appeals as solid form, the winner a 3-y-o on the up and second in the form of his life, a couple in behind getting their seasons back on track. SILVER QUARTZ got back on the up with the blinkers quickly removed; tracked pace, switched around 2f out, stayed on to lead inside final 1f, driven out; he saw this out strongly, as he'd done when winning his maiden, and is well worth another try at 1¼m, his only go at that trip coming at Royal Ascot.
